  • Un, deux, trois
    Bang, bang, bang

    Feathers, I'm plucking feathers
    One by one, by one
    No more skylarking, around my head
    Your information
    But there's no hiding, behind moulting feathers

    On the plane, on my brain, 'bout to do the sho'
    40k contract, take it out the do'
    Dice, symbolize my life, roll 'em on the flo'
    From your grubby hands, as you hand the grandstand
    You live a shitty life, we live a bon, bon vie
    Hotter than the book, while we watch the tv
    Think you got us fooled, ooh never again
    First time, shame on me, second time, your time will end

    No way, bang your dead, here's your silhouette
    Je te plumerai la, tete
    Je te plumerai la, tete
    Bang your dead, alouette, here's your silhouette
    Je te plumerai la, tete
    Je te plumerai la, tete

    No way, no, (the clock) it's ticking forward
    No way, it's just a cruel, cruel world

    Cruel world is fittin', they got us all hittin'
    With late night divisions, and lab app decisions
    But based with decisions, to fight a fricassee
    And you've clearly decided, on how to handle me
    Difficile, imbecile, is it fake, is it real
    Are we dying on our feet, are we trying in our sleep
    There's a rumour goin' 'round, 'bout the suits runnin' town
    If you look into the sky, them birds fly high, high, high

    Numbers, you got that number
    You're looking outwards, and don't see the big picture
    Over your shoulder, you'll get no last words
    Because it's too late, you've clipped your own wings (your own wings)

    No way, bang your dead, here's your silhouette
    Je te plumerai la, tete
    Je te plumerai la, tete
    Bang your dead, alouette, here's your silhouette
    Je te plumerai la, tete
    Je te plumerai la, tete

    We're never gonna, believe in, the stories, that you're weavin'
    We're never gonna, believe in, the stories, that you're weavin'
    We're never gonna, believe in, the stories, that you're weavin'
    We're believin' in the proof, we're believin' in the truth
    We're believin' in each other, not you, you, you

    Stories (you with the tall tales), how many stories (so many tall tales)
    We climb the structure (you scale the ladder)
    You build it higher (you make us madder)
    We take our aim (so now we're bearin' off)
    You perch above your nest (in your charms)
    The stories in your head (it's a crazy bald head)
    That's what got you dead

    No way, bang your dead, here's your silhouette
    Je te plumerai la, tete
    Je te plumerai la, tete
    Bang your dead, alouette, here's your silhouette
    Je te plumerai la, tete
    Je te plumerai la, tete

    Un, deux, trois
    No one ever does it like that anymore
    Bang, bang, bang
    When feathers fly, you deny everything (alouette)
    Un, deux, trois
    No one ever does it like that anymore
    Bang, bang, bang (alouette)
    When feathers fly, you deny everything yo Writer/s: Alex Greenwald, Amanda Warner, Homer Steinweiss, Kamaal Fareed, Mark Ronson, Nick Hodgson, Peter Keush
